[Verse 1]
C                     F    C
Sing us a song of the century
       C
That's louder than bombs
     G
And Eternity
    C                 F     C
The era of static and contraband
       C                 G
That's leading us to the promised land
F          C    F        C
Tell us a story by candlelight
F        C       F          G
Waging a war and losing the fight
 
 
[Verse 2]
        C                       F    C
They're playing the song of the century 
   C                     G
Of panic and promise and prosperity
F          C      F           C
Tell me a story into that goodnight
F         G        C(hold)
Sing us a song for me
